Bill Summary
Amends the Substance Use Disorder Act. Provides that beginning on the effective date of the amendatory Act, the Department of Human Services shall not approve any initial or renewal application for the licensure of a facility where substance use treatment or intervention services will be provided within 1,000 feet of: (i) any building or buildings or real property comprising a public or private elementary or secondary school, community college, college, or university, including any adjacent school yard, school playing field, or school playground; (ii) a public playground; or (iii) any public park building or real property comprising any public park. Provides that nothing in the amendatory Act shall be construed to invalidate any initial or renewal application for licensure approved prior to the effective date of the amendatory Act.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Substance Use Disorder Act to restrict the licensing of substance use treatment and intervention facilities by prohibiting the Department of Human Services from approving initial or new license applications for facilities located within 1,000 feet of certain educational and public recreational spaces. Specifically, these restricted locations include public or private schools (from elementary through university levels), school-related areas like playgrounds and playing fields, public playgrounds, and public parks or park buildings. The bill does not invalidate any licensing applications that were already approved before the effective date of this amendment. The purpose appears to be creating distance between substance abuse treatment facilities and areas frequently used by children and families, potentially to address community concerns about the proximity of such facilities to schools and public recreational spaces. The restriction applies statewide and becomes effective immediately upon passage of the amendatory act.
